COUPLES CELEBRATING

50TH AND 60TH ANNIVERSARY

Archbishop Wilton B. Gregory would like

to honor couples married in 1967 and 1957

with an invitation to a Golden/ Diamond Wedding

Anniversary Mass on Saturday October 7th, 2017 at

12:00 noon at St. Brigid Catholic Church. A reception will

follow the Mass for the anniversary couples and their

families. Space is limited. For more information or to

RSVP for this event, please go to

http://tiny.cc/anniversarymass.

Thank you for your continuous support of this charitable

ministry. SVDP helps many people in the community, but

sometimes SVDP cannot help because of the amount of the

bill and because the person in need does not give SVDP

enough time before their utilities are turned off or the

eviction notice is filed. If they would have notified the

companies and explained why they would be late with their

payment maybe they could have had enough time to get

help. SVDP is a ministry to help if given enough time. Our

next meeting is August 28th at 7:00PM in Hedges hall, come

join us. The help line number is 770-868-5100 Monday thru

Thursday. May God bless you.
